I totally get your point. The thing is you are required to write out the amount in order to prevent fraud, right? So, using the same numbers again for the verification may not be helpful. For example, it is easy to turn a 5 into a 6. Using your approach would mean to use the same numbers as in the original amount field. So, both times I could do this turn.
It could easily get safer to use 'x5,000' and 'x500' instead. Thus, the user is required to write down different numbers.
Robert, that is a great point. I am posting a solution shortly to address the fraud that writing the words prevented from happening. My current design is missing that.
